Chapter 187 Compound with quotation marks

The originally planned five-day sailing time, and finally they walked for three more days. From Yongningwei to Nanri Island, they walked for eight days before arriving at Nanri Island.

But when they arrived at Nanri Island, they found that it was empty and no one could be seen. There were only some empty villages left on the island, and there was no fishing boat on the south coast of Nanri Island, which completely turned into a dead scene.

To Yu Zhigao's surprise, the sea wolves did not launch another attack on them until they arrived at Nanri Island, let alone resist them at sea when they arrived at Nanri Island, allowing them to reach Nanri Island.

Yu Zhigao immediately sent people across the sea wolf village on Nanri Island from land and rushed to the sea wolf village on Nanri Island. At the same time, he let several fast ships bypass Nanri Island through the Nanri Waterway and go to the sea wolf village on Nanri Island. Although he has arrived on Nanri Island, who took the village of Nanri Island? He is very clear. Chu has been delayed a lot of time on land these days, while Zhang Jiace on the other side set out from Dinghai City and went south to Nanri Island. It can be said that it was smooth all the way.

It's just that Zhang Jiace was ordered to go to Xinghua Bay to load the officers and soldiers on the other side, so it may delay some time. Now it seems that the sea wolf has given up defending Nanri Island, so this time he ate on land, it is estimated that the sea wolf gave them a warning and did not intend to continue to defend. Nanri Island.

However, this matter cannot be finalized before taking the sea wolf village on Nanri Island, because before that, he had a careful understanding of the process of Boss Chu Cai's invasion of Nanri Island.

At that time, the sea wolf used the village of Nanri Island as bait, and did not block Chu Cai Lao's fleet, allowing Chu Cai to land easily, but it hit Chu Cai on the land. While Chu Cai's morale fell sharply, the fleet suddenly appeared and beat Chu Cai.

Although he didn't see anyone on Nanri Island, he couldn't see the situation of Dazhai from the south, so whether the sea wolf completely gave up Nanri Island or wanted to defend Dazhai like last time. At present, he is not sure. He must send people to rush to Dazhai to see the situation.

But when Yu Zhigao's people rushed to the sea wolf village, they found that a large group of officers and soldiers had appeared here. In the bay in front of the village, there were also a large number of officers and warships moored. After looking at the flag, they knew that Zhang Jiace was actually one step ahead of them. He had just arrived at Nanri Island and was landing and unloading. A large number of land engineers on the ship.

Looking at the sea wolf village on Nanri Island, they found that there is no sea wolf village at this time. The original sea wolf village has now turned into a ruin. Almost all of the sea wolf village, including the wall, have been demolished and burned. The scorres of some places have not been completely extinguished. When they approach the village, they feel hot. Waves on the face.

The air is still filled with a strong smell of smoke. It can be seen that the village has just been burned down. After Yu Zhigao learned the news, he couldn't help scolding in his heart. If he hadn't encountered a night attack by a sea wolf on the road, how could it be Zhang Jiace's turn to land on the island first? This first merit seems to have been taken by Zhang Jiace.

However, it also made him feel at home. Since the sea wolf burned their fortress, it shows that they have completely given up this Nanri Island. Originally, they thought that there would be a hard battle when they arrived here, but now it seems that this worry is already Superfluous.

According to the news brought back by the detailed work, the sea wolf has been painstakingly managing Nanri Island in the past few years. The island has opened up wasteland and farmed land, and there are many workshops such as commercial warehouses, docks and boat houses. Now that they have even burned the big village, it can be seen that they are indeed strong men have broken their wrists this time. I don't plan to stay on Nanri Island.

So this time, Fujian officials have achieved at least achieved arguable results in suppressing the sea wolf, and the main purpose has been achieved.

In fact, as the main generals, Yu Zhigao, Zhang Jiace and others have seen through Zhu Yifeng's ideas this time. Although Zhu Yifeng seems to carry out a large-scale suppression of sea wolves after taking office, in essence, Zhu Yifeng's purpose is not necessarily to destroy sea wolves, because they all know that now The sea wolf is not an ordinary pirate.

In addition to the old nest of Nanri Island, the sea wolf has now occupied several places on Taiyuan Island and vigorously operated it. If it wants to be completely eliminated, with the strength of Fujian Province alone, it is obvious that their Fujian officials are not sure at all. If they want to completely eliminate the sea wolf, I'm afraid that at least It is estimated that there is still hope to cooperate with Guangdong and Zhejiang to suppress many provincial capitals.

So their initial combat goal was only to restore Nanri Island. As for whether they can eliminate the sea wolves, it is no longer their concern.

Nowadays, it is very obvious that sea wolves are very interesting. They know that it is not good for them to defend Nanri Island. Instead of fight with the government here, it is better to temporarily give up Nanri Island and retreat to their Taiwanese Island nest. The reason why they sneaked on Yu Zhigao's fleet on the road should be that they are not very willing. It belongs to a A kind of demonstration.

So now that the sea wolves have run away, their battle is over. Although they don't even see the shadow of the sea wolves, it still does not prevent them from reporting victory to the capital.

For so many years, the coast of Fujian has been unstable. Although many islands along the coast are still under the official control of the Ming Dynasty, they are basically in an enclave state. The government is unable to control them at all, making it the nest of pirates or a temporary haven for merchant ships.

Although they couldn't catch the sea wolf this time, at least they still forced the sea wolf to take back Nanri Island, so this kind of recovery is still a great success.

At present, the Jiannu Taron in Liaodong has repeatedly committed southern crimes. The officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are more than a hundred victories, and the whole Liaodong have been almost lost by the officers and soldiers. If it hadn't been for Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army, I'm afraid that Liaodong would have completely fallen into the hands of Jiannu by now. Only this time Jiannu went south and hit a nose in Ningyuan and was defeated by Yuan. Chonghuan's hand has somewhat boosted the morale of Liaodong.

However, the chaos of luxury peace in the Sichuan area has lasted for many years. The army and the rebels of luxury Chongming An Bangyan also fought more than a hundred victories, and even the generals at the first level of general were defeated and killed.

So on the whole, the Ming Dynasty is now getting worse and worse. There are basically few good news. Bad news is piled up every day. Now their Fujian officials and soldiers can defeat Nanri Island. Although their record is not too good, at least it is also good news. It is definitely indispensable for the imperial court. Yu Zhigao himself is very close to Wei Zhongxian's party. He and Wu Chunfu, an important member of Wei Zhongxian's party, are children's in-laws. If the news reaches the capital, even if the court does not reward Zhu Yifeng, at least Wei Zhongxian's party will take care of him, so the current situation is that everyone is big. Joy.

Of course, although they are now on Nanri Island, it does not mean that the war is over. They must also carry out a so-called cleanup of Nanri Island, which is actually a land scraping rope on Nanri Island.

In the original plan, once they take Nanri Island this time, with the activities of sea wolves in Fujian over the years, they are sure that their nest will hoard a large amount of property. As long as they defeat them and take their village, then the officers and soldiers who participated in the war can at least salvage a sum, and the big head will definitely be divided by these military generals. .

But when they came, what they saw was devastated and ruins everywhere. The sea wolf had transported all the things that could be transported here in advance, not even a little wood was left behind, let alone a lot of wealth.

So on the one hand, they felt a long sigh of relief when they saw the sea wolf fleeing without fighting, but on the other hand, they were disappointed and felt that they were a little unwilling to get a bargain on this trip.

Both the sailors and the Lushi transported this time feel that they can't go like this, so they must carry out a thorough search of Nanri Island, at least a few heads must be cut down. Otherwise, after the war report, not even a single pirate was killed. This war report is too ugly.

Killing Liang and risking credit has long been an open matter. What's more, killing several islanders on Nanri Island is not an excessive thing. Who will let them become thieves? So even if you kill some islanders, you can at least make the future war report look better.

So after Yu Zhigao landed on the island, he immediately ordered the generals of the army to search all over Nanri Island, especially those villages, in order to carry out a thorough search and try to catch more "thief people".

It is said to catch more thieves. Naturally, the generals who are ordered are very clear in their hearts that as long as they are human, cutting their heads is the key. As for whether they are pirates or not, it is not important.

So the generals responded and immediately took their officers and soldiers down to Nanri Island and began to search everywhere.

But at this time, the villages on Nanri Island have been basically empty. Of course, the islanders knew that the officers and soldiers would not be polite to them this time, so those who could leave, they packed up their belongings in advance and got on the boat. Some people really couldn't give up here, so they hid in the eastern mountains.

It turned out that many cattle and sheep were grazed on Nanri Island, which were also shipped away. The villages on the island were basically ten rooms and nine empty. Except for the empty houses, there were basically few people.

Of course, there are still some stubborn old people who refuse to leave without saying anything. They think that this is their home and their fields here. Even if they die, they have to guard their fields and their homes. Yu Xiaotian did not drag them to such a stubborn old man and let them go. People have the right to choose their own life and death. Since they don't want to live, they can't blame him for abandoning it.
